Description
This fellowship opportunity at the Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) focuses on advanced research in numerical tide modeling, including model validation and shipboard tide prediction systems. The primary research goal is to develop a tactical scale regional tide model driven by global or large-scale regional tide models. Key research challenges include developing coupling boundary conditions under both wind and tide forcing, and assimilating in situ and satellite altimeter data into tide models to improve accuracy and operational utility.
The research is situated within the Ocean Sciences division at NRL's Stennis Space Center, Mississippi. This program offers postdoctoral researchers the chance to work closely with experienced scientists, access state-of-the-art facilities, and contribute to the Navy's operational and scientific capabilities in ocean modeling.
